Description

The harmonious, rich and thick brush strokes represent the dance of life’s colours. Each colour has a well-wishing symbolic value, whereas depth is given by the effect of “rigatino” (hatching), parallel chromatic stripes that are painted between circular brush strokes. Blue is the dominant colour that harmonises the composition. The central circle represents the union of opposites, the complementary character of contrasts: moon, sun, woman, man.
